Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track curves. Powering your locomotive set Your locomotive set is designed to work with either AC or DC power. AC Power: Use an alternating-current (50-60Hz AC) transformer for Legacy, Bluetooth, or Conventional control. Powering your locomotive set in excess of 19 volts AC may result in damage to sensitive electronic components. DC Power: Use a DC transformer for Bluetooth control only. You locomotive set is not designed to operate with Legacy or conventional control while using DC power. Powering your locomotive set in excess of 19 volts DC may result in damage to sensitive electronic components. LEGACY controller operations (AC power only) Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set is compatible for operation with the Lionel LEGACY system. It will also operate on the original Lionel TrainMaster System (TMCC1) and also on the LEGACY Cab-1L / Base-1L operating system. Your commands are sent by the Remote Controller to the Command Base, which broadcasts a radio frequency that is distributed through the outer rails of the track to your locomotives. Your locomotive set will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#, so you can operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time. 1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the LEGACY Base and connect it to the track. 2. Place your locomotive set on the track. 3. Increase track power voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive set to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit. 4. As illustrated in Figure 1, press ENG and 1 (or your selected ENG ID#) to address the locomotive set with your LEGACY CAB-2 Remote Controller. Figure 1. Engine selection 4 Running your locomotive set LEGACY Control operations continued (AC power only) 5.

Additional information is also found in the LEGACY System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com. Figure 4. Start-up 5 Running your locomotive set Note! Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track curves. TrainMaster Command Control (TMCC/Command Control) operations (AC power only) For operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you need a TrainMaster Command Base (6-12911) and a CAB-1 Remote Controller (6-12868). Refer to your TMCC System Manual for complete information. Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails to your locomotive set, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives on the same track at the same time. 1. Turn off track power, and then plug in the Command Base and connect it to the track. 2. Place your locomotive set on the track. 3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC). If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive set to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit. 4. Press ENG and 1 to address your locomotive set with your CAB-1 Remote Controller. 5. Throttle up and move `em out. For more information, please refer to the TrainMaster Command Control operations section of this manual or the TMCC System Manual, available online at www.lionel.com. 6 Running your locomotive set Conventional transformer operations (AC power only) Note! For Conventional operation, a Command Base must not be powered up anywhere in the area, even if it is not connected to the track. If a base is detected, your locomotive set will default to Command mode. Note! Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set requires Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31 or larger track curves. Note! To access ALL of the features of your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set you must operate in the TMCC environment as described on page 5. 1. With track power off, place your locomotive set on the track. 2. Power up the track. If a circuit breaker trips when you turn on the Lionel power supply, check the wheels of your locomotive set to make sure they are all securely on the track. Check to make sure the track is free of all metals that may cause a short circuit. 3. Move `em out! When the locomotive set's headlight illuminates and the LEGACY RailSounds sound system starts, press the DIRECTION button on your transformer to sequence your locomotive set through the repeating pattern of operations: neutral, forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. You may also briefly turn off track power to advance the locomotive set to the next operating state. Adjust the throttle until your locomotive moves at your desired speed. When placing your locomotive set on your layout for the first time and after power interruptions lasting longer than five seconds, it will start out in neutral. Note! Use the Whistle and BELL buttons on your transformer to activate those features. For more information, please refer to the Conventional transformer operations section of this manual. Note! If your locomotive set is running in Conventional mode, it can be interrupted by a Bluetooth Control device. If you do not wish for this to happen, locate the Bluetooth ON/ OFF switch and move it to the OFF position. Refer to Figure 6 on page 8. Adding fluid to your locomotive's smoke generator Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotives are each equipped with a smoke generator that produce safe, clean, white smoke during operation. The smoke generator for these locomotives supply the stack smoke effect. The reservoir contains the fluid and wick which, once saturated, supplies the heating element with the right amount of fluid. Note! For best performance, we recommend using only 6-37841 Lionel Premium Smoke Fluid. 7 Locomotive set basics Adding fluid to your locomotive's smoke generator continued Exhaust Smoke Loading smoke fluid into either exhaust stack will provide smoke fluid for the exhaust smoke effect. When adding fluid DO NOT EXCEED 20 DROPS per unit as this can cause your smoke unit to become oversaturated allowing leakage onto the electronics. Note that operating your locomotive's smoke unit without smoke fluid will cause damage to the heating element. Add 20 drops initially and 10 to 20 thereafter, as required to maintain desired smoke. Add smoke fluid to either stack Figure 5. Exhaust smoke location Note! Your locomotive set's smoke fluid consumption will vary depending on the smoke level setting you have selected. Refer to Figure 5 as you add the smoke fluid. If you prefer to operate your locomotive set without smoke, locate the smoke unit switch and slide it to the OFF position. Refer below for the location of the switch. Locomotive switch locations The functions of your LionChief Plus 2.0 lead locomotive's switches are outlined below. The instructions below are specific to this particular locomotive; note that available features (and switches) may differ from other locomotives and sets. Smoke Switch Used to turn the smoke unit on and off. Program / Run Switch Used to assign an ID# and reprogram the locomotive in Command operation when the switch is in the PROG position. Also used to "lock" your locomotive in a single direction, or neutral, in conventional operation when the switch is placed in the PROG position. Bluetooth Switch Used to turn the Bluetooth module on and off. FRONT Program/Run switch PGM RUN Smoke switch NO SMK SMK Bluetooth OFF ON BLUETOOTH switch ON SMK RUN BLUETOOTH OFF NO SMK PGM Figure 6. Switch locations 8 Locomotive set basics Assigning your locomotive set a new ID# For operation in the Command Control environment, you will want to give your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotives a unique ID#. Your locomotives will respond to commands associated with its ID# while all other units will disregard these commands. This procedure is not necessary for conventional (non-Command) or BlueTooth operation. 1. Slide the program/run switch on each locomotive to the PROG position. See Figure 6 on page 8. 2. Place the locomotive set on the track. 3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in. 4. Power up the track. 5. Press ENG on the CAB-1 or CAB-2 remote. 6. Enter the unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that has not been assigned to another locomotive (ENG). We recommend using a part of your locomotive's road number. Note! All Command Control enabled locomotives respond to ENG 99. We recommend that you reserve ID# 99 as a "universal" ID#. 7. Press SET. The locomotive's horn will sound, or the headlights will flash if the RailSounds sound system is off. 8. Slide the program/run switch back to the RUN position. The LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference. Note! If using a CAB-2 remote, the engine ID must be programmed as a TMCC or Cab-1 locomotive. If programmed as Legacy, your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive will not respond to commands. Note! Your AA set can be programmed using the same TMCC ID for both engines. The software in each engine will automatically detect this, and will operate accordingly. 9 LEGACY controller operations The LEGACY CAB-2 Remote Controller Main Display Displays real-time information about your railroad system.

This section is a brief overview of the LEGACY Control System. For a more in-depth explanation of the LEGACY Control System features, please see your LEGACY Control System Operations Manual, available online at www.lionel.com. The Velocity Throttle The Velocity Throttle (the red rotary knob on the bottom of your Lionel remote) is used to start your locomotive set moving, slow it down or speed it up. Use it simply by turning it clockwise (speed up) or counter-clockwise (slow down). The Multi-Controller Direction The direction of your locomotive set toggles between forward and reverse at the touch of the Multi-Controller. Press the center of the Multi-Controller once, and your engine's lights will change directions and the engine will stop until you throttle up again in the new direction. Boost & Brake Boost and brake give you another way to control the speed of your train. Boost gives your loco a temporary increase in tractive power, and returns to the previous speed when you release the control, while the brake command slows you down more quickly than the Velocity Throttle alone. The Train Brake Slider The Train Brake is used to slow down and limit the top speed of your train by adding a load. The more the Train Brake is applied by pulling the Train Brake Slider down, the more laboring is heard from the engine. Eventually the Train Brake application will slow down the train and it is even possible to stop a train by pulling the Train Brake Slider all the way down. 11 LEGACY controller operations Warning Sound Controller Warning sounds are an important part of Lionel Railroading. Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set features a whistle/horn with 5 different selectable pitch levels. Blow the horn by pulling down on the Warning Sound Controller. Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set features a bell with 5 different selectable pitch levels. Press the Warning Sounds Controller up to turn the continuous bell on. Press up again to turn it off. Note! Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set features customizable horn and bell sounds available through your CAB-2 or CAB-1 remote control systems. Simply press the AUX 1 button followed by the horn or bell and your locomotive set will cycle through the available bell and horn sounds. This feature is similar to the pitch slider options found in the LionChief Bluetooth app. The Speed Bar The Speed Bar is used to select a new touch-screen Icon Control set. This set of touch-screen keys is used to select prototypical preset speeds. The speed of the engine changes with each press and release of a different Preset Speed key. · Tap a key, and your locomotive set will immediately begin moving to that speed. You can also use the Velocity Throttle and other action controls in this mode and continue to use Preset speeds at the same time. Press AUX1 to leave the Preset speed mode and return to the Standard Control Panel. Press the speed bar to toggle between the Speed Control Panel and the Standard Control Panel. 12 RailSounds Sound System operations RailSounds sound system Volume UP Raises the overall master volume of the RailSounds sound system.

Then release the Announcement/Shift button. ENGINE SELECTION 1, 2, 3 Each Engine Selection button represents a channel for controlling one LionChief, LionChief Plus, LionChief Plus 2.0 or Legacy Bluetooth locomotive. Each of these buttons may be "paired" with a different locomotive. Once paired, you can control multiple locomotives from one remote by pressing an Engine Selection button, then using the throttle, horn, bell, etc. Note! Your remote will remember all locomotive pairings when you turn everything back on for your next operating session. THROTTLE Turn the throttle clockwise slowly to increase speed in the forward direction. Returning the throttle to the top dead center position will bring the locomotive to a stop. Moving the throttle counterclockwise will increase the speed of the locomotive set in reverse. The Throttle also functions as the volume control. Refer to "Adjusting the locomotive volume" section in this manual for more detailed information. Note! The powered A unit in this set is the "Master" engine when in Bluetooth mode. The non-powered A unit cannot be operated via the LionChief Universal Remote without the powered A unit. 20 Using the LionChief Universal Remote Adjusting the locomotive volume with the Universal Remote To adjust the overall volume of the locomotive set's sound system begin by placing the throttle in the top dead center position (so the red LED is solidly illuminated and the locomotive is stopped). Press and hold the Announcement button then turn the throttle to the left and / or right, this will increase and decrease the overall locomotive volume. Continue holding the Announcement button when turning the throttle, you can stay in this mode until the volume is at the level you desire. Once the volume level is set to the level you want release the Announcement button and return the locomotive throttle to the top dead center position again. (The new volume level will remain until you change it in the future, even after power has been cycled.) If, after running the locomotive set, you decide to change the volume, simply follow the steps above to do so. Note! If the throttle is not in the top dead center position before or after the volume adjustment process undesired operation will occur. Always start and finish the volume adjustment process with the throttle in the top dead center position! Pairing locomotives to the Universal Remote Your Universal Remote can connect or "pair" to one, two or three different locomotives at a time. Each "target" locomotive will be associated with one Engine Selection Button. Once you've paired with a locomotive, you can run it. However, only "available" locomotives can be paired with the Universal Remote. "Available" means "not currently controlled by any other remote." An available locomotive will be powered up. To Pair a Locomotive to Engine Selection button #1 1. Turn on power to your Universal Remote 2. Press and hold Engine Selection button #1 until it blinks rapidly. This will clear any previously stored pairing information so you can connect to the new target locomotive. 3. Release the button. It should flash slowly, indicating it is not connected to a locomotive. 4. Place the target locomotive on the track and apply track power. 5. Tap and release Engine Selection button #1. The remote will now seek and connect to the first available locomotive it finds. 6. Engine Selection button #1 should now be on (no flashing), the engine will play a short whistle blast to indicate it is connected. 7. Run the locomotive! This locomotive pairing is now stored in your Universal Remote. The next time this engine and remote are powered on, the connection will be automatically re-established. To Pair a Locomotive to Engine Selection buttons 2 or 3, simply follow the same steps with the other two Engine Selection Buttons. Note! Bluetooth locomotives cannot be operated by the Universal Remote if they are already under the control of the LionChief App or another Universal Remote. 21 Using the LionChief Universal Remote Operating locomotives with the Universal Remote Now that you have paired locomotives with the Universal Remote its time to run trains! Operation with the Universal Remote is very similar to using the basic remote included with your locomotive. Switch between the locomotives you want to control by pressing different Engine Selection buttons. Using the Throttle with multiple locomotives Familiarize yourself with the Universal Remote by putting just one locomotive in motion at a time. Once you are comfortable as to which button is paired to what locomotive, try putting multiple locomotives in motion using the Universal Remote. As soon as you press a different Engine Selection button, you can command the newly selected engine to blow its whistle, ring the bell or trigger dialog. However, throttle control does not automatically switch! To take throttle-control of the selected engine, you have two choices: You can make the locomotive match the remote's current throttle position--or--you can change your remote's throttle position to match the engine's current speed and direction. To immediately force the engine to match the throttle, just press that Engine Selection button a second time. The locomotive will immediately honor the current position of your throttle. This may result in an abrupt change in speed and/or direction. Option two will avoid the possibility of an abrupt speed change. After pressing the Engine Selection button once, manually turn your throttle knob until it matches the locomotive's current speed and direction. Once you've matched the knob position, the main red LED will begin flashing at a rate proportional to the engine's speed. From this point on, further throttle rotation will change the engine's speed and/or direction. Here's an example showing the "throttle matching" option in action. Engine #1 (above) is a diesel with throttle set for forward direction, medium speed. 22 Using the LionChief Universal Remote Operating locomotives with the Universal Remote continued Engine 2 (above) is a steamer at stop. Press Engine Selection button #2 and turn the throttle counter-clockwise through the 12 o'clock (stop) position and continue to put this loco in reverse at slow speed. Meanwhile, notice that engine #1 is still moving forward as before. Now, switch back to engine #1, the diesel. Note that even though the throttle is in the reverse/slow speed position, the diesel continues moving forward at medium speed. Match! To regain speed and direction control over diesel locomotive #1, you must match the throttle position to the engine's current speed and direction. Turn the throttle clockwise. Once you've matched the throttle position, additional throttle adjustments will again cause speed and direction changes of the currently selected engine. 23 TrainMaster Command Control operations CAB-1 Remote Controller commands The CAB-1 Remote Controller commands are detailed below.

Simply press the AUX 1 button followed by the horn or bell and your locomotive will cycle through the available bell and horn sounds. This feature is similar to the pitch slider options found in the LionChief Bluetooth app. Conventional transformer operations Using the RailSounds sound system in the conventional environment When you first power up your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set you will hear the sounds of the locomotive set at rest. As the locomotive set moves, the RPM sounds automatically increase with the locomotive set's speed. In the conventional environment, the horn and bell sounds are activated by your transformer controls, if so equipped. In the conventional environment, you will experience several features of the RailSounds sound system. · Diesel motor RPM levels. The level of diesel motor RPM level automatically varies with the speed of the locomotive set. · Bell. Press BELL on your transformer to begin the effect, then press BELL a second time to discontinue the effect. · CrewTalk dialog. These brief conversations between the train crew and the tower are triggered by short horn blasts. Activating the CrewTalk dialog In the conventional environment, CrewTalk dialog is triggered by short horn blasts and vary with the state of the LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set. · If the locomotive set has been stopped for less than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a "please standby" dialog. · If the locomotive set has been stopped for longer than 15 seconds, a short horn blast triggers a "cleared outbound" dialog. · If the locomotive set has started moving within the last seven seconds, a short horn blast will trigger a "train is underway" dialog. · If the locomotive set has been moving for more than seven seconds, a short horn blast will trigger a "are we clear?" dialog. 27 Conventional transformer operations Locking your locomotive into a single direction When the Command/reverse unit switch is in the RUN position, your locomotive set sequences through a repeating pattern of operations: forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on. To "lock" your locomotive set into a single direction (for example, to operate in forward only), you can deactivate the Command/reverse unit's sequencing function. 1. Use your transformer's DIRECTION button or interruptions in track power to get your locomotive set moving slowly in the desired direction or into neutral. 2. Slide the Command/reverse unit switch on each locomotive to the PROG position. At this point, the locomotive set is "locked" into your chosen direction. See Figure 6 on page 8 for the location of this switch. To restore the forward-neutral-reverse sequence, just slide the Command/reverse unit switches back to the RUN position. Note! Because of the way that speed control operates in conventional mode, you will notice a slight delay between adjusting your transformer throttle and the change in the speed of your locomotive set. Reprogramming your locomotive to restore features If your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set is unresponsive to your commands in the Command Control environment, we recommend that you follow this procedure to reset your locomotive set. All factory default settings will be restored when you reprogram the locomotive set. 1. Slide the program/run switch to the PROG position. 2. Plug in and connect your LEGACY Base. 3. Place your locomotive set on the track, then power up the track. 4. Press ENG and enter the locomotive's ID#. 5. Press SET. 6. Turn off track power and wait ten seconds. 7. Slide the program/run switch back to the RUN position. At this point, your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set has been reset. Restore power to the track and operate the locomotive set as usual. Be sure to use the ID# entered in Step 4. 28 Maintaining and servicing your locomotive set Lubricating your locomotive set Help your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set lead a long and productive life on your railroad by maintaining it properly. To keep your locomotive set lubricated, we recommend that you purchase a Lionel Lubrication and Maintenance Kit (6-62927), available from your authorized Lionel dealer. When you find that the lubrication points illustrated in Figure 14 appear dry, lubricate your locomotive set after you have removed any accumulated dirt and dust. There are two basic rules to keep in mind when you are lubricating your locomotive set: use only a small amount of lubrication and avoid getting grease or oil on your locomotive's wheels, roller pick-ups, or the track. Powered & Non-Powered Locomotives Lubricate with Lionel oil sparingly PGM RUN Lubricate with Lionel grease sparingly Lubricate with Lionel grease sparingly NO SMK SMK OFF ON BLUETOOTH Lubricate with Lionel oil sparingly Figure 14. Locomotive set lubrication points 29 Maintaining and servicing your locomotive set Servicing your locomotives' LEDs Note! If the locomotive set is powered up and the lights are not on, check that the AUX2 command was not used to turn the lamps off. Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set is illuminated by several LEDs that are expected to last for the life of each locomotive. The LED's are not user serviceable. If service is required, we recommend that you have your locomotive set serviced at a Lionel Factory Trained Authorized Service Station or Lionel Service. 30 Maintaining and servicing your locomotive set Replacing the traction tires Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set is equipped with traction tires to increase the tractive effort of your locomotives and allow it to pull more cars at once. During the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. To replace the traction tires, remove the side frame screws from the underside of the trucks and lift away the side frame. Remove the worn tire, then slip the replacement around the wheel. Reposition the side frame on the truck and secure it with the two screws. Locomotive Diagnostics Your LionChief Plus 2.0 locomotive set includes built-in diagnostics to monitor the condition of the main drive motor. If a problem is detected, the locomotive's cab light will blink a diagnostic code. If you see the light inside the cab flashing, press RESET (for LEGACY operation), 0 (for TMCC operation), or DIRECTION/power interruption (for conventional operation) to attempt to clear the problem. The locomotive set will immediately check itself again. If the problem persists, it must be returned to a local Factory Trained Authorized Lionel Service Station, or contact Lionel Customer Service for repair. Number of Blinks Diagnostic Code Description 1 Main drive motor stalled. 31 Lionel Limited Warranty Policy & Service This Lionel product, including all mechanical and electrical components, moving parts, motors and structural components, with the exception of LIGHT BULBS, LED's & TRACTION TIRES are warranted to the original owner-purchaser for a period of one year from the original date of purchase against original defects in materials or workmanship when purchased through a Lionel Authorized Retailer*.
